Oxford’s Evangelical College
The University of Oxford is made up of 43 colleges. Wycliffe Hall is Oxford’s Evangelical college with roots drawn from the key moments in history when it was necessary for the Church to make a course correction. Wycliffe Hall’s namesake, John Wycliffe (1328-1384) is famous for reminding his contemporaries that its easy to let what’s happening in culture dominate the conversation. His basic argument was the call to simply “get back to the Bible” and allow God’s Word to form our approach to navigating current issues.
“Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear and suspicion.”
